Building on the past success of INTERPOL’s Global Programme on Anti-Corruption, Financial Crimes and Asset Recovery, this sixth programme was organized for the benefit of member countries in West and Central Africa. Designed for senior investigators and prosecutors, the training course was organized in close coordination with the INTERPOL Regional Bureau in Abidjan and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) of Nigeria, supported by the academic infrastructure of EFCC’s Training Academy in Abuja, Nigeria.

This regional training programme focuses on the latest tools and techniques in investigation of different forms of high value corruption. Topics include fraud, financial crimes, abuse of authority, corruption in procurement and contracting, corruption in the financial sector, money laundering, financial audit trail and computer forensics, and the effective use of Mutual Legal Assistance in international investigations and complex cases of asset recovery from multiple jurisdictions.
